Technical Specifications

The WTF!? has been designed from the ground up to be the ultimate freestyle competition machine that has been developed to allow you to perform the most demanding tricks with ease.

The board features a new rocker line with a flatter section in the centre of the board to allow it to plane early with increased rocker on the tips to keep those landings smooth. There is a dynamic transition between these staged rocker lines which are designed to give the maximum pop off the water.

Pop is something we have to talk about with the WTF, every feature of the board has been built around not only giving the most pop possible but also making it easy to release it and control it. The outline of the board is both versatile and comfortable, the broad tips provide a huge platform for you to launch your tricks from, while also offering a stable landing area no matter how hard you are coming in from a move.

We are famous for our revolutionary HRD rail technology, with the WTF we have taken it a step further, it’s not an HRD rail, but something unique to the board. Higher, thicker rails are present under the feet, offering maximum lift and balance while in the middle of the board and at the tips there is a thinner rail for improved grip.

On the underside of the board, you will find channelling and shaping to improve the grip and the release of water from the board. Helping you with speed and control at all times while you are on the water. These channels also break the surface tension of the water making the landings smoother and more manageable.

The deck of the board is completely flat, and with good reason, a flat deck provides a more consistent connection to the board for your bindings, no matter what brand you choose. This helps again with control and also makes it easy to get bindings that fit the board.

Once you are on the water, you will notice the speed at which the board travels and how effortless it is to ride. Pop is gained easily and no matter your speed or the state of the water you can be assured of a good take off every time you load up the edge. Landings are smooth, and the WTF has been designed to help you to complete your tricks with a higher consistency than ever before.

The board is available in three sizes: 136 x 41.5, 138 x 42 and a 140 x 42.5cm. All three sizes are quite large on purpose, the increased surface area helping to get you going early, but also providing a great platform for landing your tricks. This platform is further enhanced by the shaping on the bottom of the board, breaking the surface tension with ease and reducing the “slap” you can get from some boards.

The WTF is available in two graphics the standard WTF and the WTF Girl, both share identical construction with slightly less volume and more flex in the girl’s version. There is also a WTF Next Generation model which features a slightly different shape and smaller dimensions and softer flex to help the younger riders rip on the water.

The board is equipped with our UNIBox fins, these offer better speed and improved glide with less drag thanks to their thinner profile.

Depending on the model, this cross-shaped structure is either an add-on or cnc-machined directly into the mass of the wood core.
Using it is also a guarantee of a better control whatever the water conditions.
The Twist Control can also optimize the ratio weight/rigidity and weight/reactivity.

Each year, in order to master these properties, we seek to optimize its distribution, particularly in terms of thickness.

DYNAMIC FLEX

Flexibility and impact absorption are synonymous with comfort; however comfort does not mean sacrificing control and performance.
It is difficult to reach this compromise, and this is the main reason behind the development of the DYNAMIC FLEX, which can absorb the chop, without compromising the control and edging.

The DIRECT DRIVE translate into a precise board, quick and active as it erases the flaws of the water surface, collecting its energy and giving it back for the best performance.
The feeling of riding a rock solid board always in contact with the water without suffering from it is even greater.

ABS INVERTED RAIL

We sought to gain support and a more progressive and constant contact in the water.
Starting with a surfing rail type, we have only kept the bottom part and the result is a reversed rail profile.
Its entry into the water is more gradual and the board feedback is softer.
